Pastel

    This was my first time using pastel, it was easy to blend

color together to get the colors i need. but it was hard to

 make a sharp line, because of how the pastel smeared

 together so easy. i also learned that it is better to add

the lighter color then the darker color. Then when

doing the shadow it is not just one color like gray, but

it has not just that color but other color like purple.

    I think I have done a lot better job with pastel then did with charcoal. for one thing the sides look more even. I think the glare that is on the cross look really good, it makes the cross look more realistic. then there its the top with the ring the white form the  glare i think has helped to bring the color out around the ring. Then there is the lower half i think the shading is ok, but i think i made it a little to dark. And i need to make the bottom the cross more even with the top. Also i need to blend the shadow and the back round more, it is not faded right it just goes light to dark in some places.
